Bradley : We’ve got two more coming your way. Come on. You need to hustle. Taking a new package out of the bosses tonight.
– “Okay. Thanks.” Neutral
– Give a thumbs-up
– “Get off my back.”
[…] : More screams and shouts and sounds of struggle. I can’t run for it. I’m trapped and there’s no lock on the door.
– Block the door.
– Wedge the door.
– Turn off the lights. Neutral
[…] : Brad?! That idiot! Whats he thinking? He’s gonna get me found!
– “Get in!” [Rochelle : Ashes]
– Shoo him away.
– “This is mine!”
Special Agent Aaron Fulton
[…] : You reach for the cup on the table next to your bed and take long sips of water. You try again.
– Check on her health. Neutral
– Thank her.
– Get up to speed.
[…] : All you can do is wait for Skinner. Dexler takes a seat and falls quiet. It says that way awhile. You decide to…
– …talk about L’Ively.
– …suggest a game. Neutral
– …enjoy the silence.
A.D. Skinner : I know. But you did the legwork. You found and confronted an extremely dangerous murderer. I’m impressed.
– Accept his praise. Neutral
– Scoff at your performance.
– Inquire about the case.
A.D. Skinner : Instead of where he is now, I’m focused on where he came from. This facility L’Ively was supposedly test in–what do you know about it.
– Recall L’Ively’s words. Neutral
– Suspects Skinner’s involvmentt.
– Let Dexler respond.
A.D Skinner : They’re back from their last case, they’re seasoned, and they’re not in the hospital, so they’re taking point.
– Question the decision.
– Take offense.
– Acknowledge the logic of it. Neutral
Special Agent Jess Dexler
Hay Guise : That wasn’t me! It was another Magic Bullet. He tries to make L’Ively be their instrument of revenge.
– “Turn your Magic Bullet associate in.”
– “Tell poor Fulton.”
– “No more games.” Neutral
Hay Guise : The first address was a dorm. I mean, what an idiot. At least with Sneberg there was leverage–L’Ively just gonna do what he wants now.
– “You admit involvement in Sneberg’s case?” Neutral
– “Thank you for helping us with him.”
– “Every death is on you.”
Hay Guise : Are you familiar with the Lone Gunmen?
– “Yep.” Neutral
– “Clue me in.”
– “Those weirdos?”
Hay Guise : …then I’d show them how we could be like the Lone Gunmen. That we could judiciously inform the world and maybe even help you guys.
– “Noble, but shortsighted.” Neutral
– “You should’ve disbanded.”
– “You,re not like the Gunmen.”
Caitlyn : This whole thing, looking for monsters and aliens and… whatever… Is it really worth the toll it’s taking on you?
– “It’s important.” Neutral
– “Better than your job.”
– “Maybe not.”
Caitlyn : Any leverage Caithlyn fround on them could prove useful, in theory. But at what cost to our friendship? Do I even want to know?
– “Research an FBI VIP for me.”
– “Thanks, my good friend.” You didn’t ask Caitlyn to spy.
Caitlyn : I can start by buying the next round–unless you’re sticking with the bubbles. I refuse to buy you water at a bar.
– “I need to stay sharp.”
– “Just one.” Neutral
– “Let’s get drinking.”
Scully : Be nice, Mulder. If anything, it’s our fault for not scaring her away.
– “Blame the Mucous Man.”
– “Good to see you.”
– Joke with them. Neutral
Scully : It’s us Cecil L’Ively wants. We can’t in good conscience have you in harm’s way. That’s why we’re taking point.
– “We’ll live.”
– “It’s against protocol.”
– Let them continue. Neutral
Fulton : No civilians and lots of backup? It makes sense… but you should know he thinks he’s dying. He has nothing to lose. He could go suicidal.
– “Agreed. This is dangerous.” Neutral
– “Seems like a solid plan.”
– “Hope it works”
Fulton : We can’t just sit here. Something more proactive needs to be done.
– “Let’s go.” Neutral
– “They’re handling it.”
– “Are you up for it?”
Fulton : I suggest we find the facility where l’Ively was held. It might not lead us to him, but it’s someplace to start.
– “And finding it matters.” Neutral
– “Let’s tell Skinner.”
– “We shouldn’t.”
Fulton : Last time L’Ively caught us off guard, but even if we get the drop on him we have to be more careful. Thoughts?
– “We call for backup.”
– “Kill on sight.” Your plan is to take L’Ively out.
Fulton : Stacey’s calling. I haven’t been home in two days. And I guess I kind of flaked out on texting her back.
– “Talk to her!” Neutral (Fulton answers Stacey)
– “Text her.”
– “Are you on the outs?”
Fulton : Yeah, maybe… Dexler, let me ask you something. Are you scared?
– “A little.” Neutral
– “No way.”
– “Absolutely.”
Fulton : I want to confront him again–to stop him–but… I also really don’t.
– “Fear is good.” Neutral
– “Get your head right!”
– “We can go home.”
Fulton : Whoa, that’s a smell… Okay, then. This has got to be where he escaped from. Your ready?
– “Am I ready?”
– “Time to explore.” Neutral
– “He could be here.”
[…] : …and one corridor leading to an open door blocked by two blistered, pained bodies. There’s an office beyong, but the dead are in the way.
– Investigate the office [Premium 20 Diamonds]
– Let the bodies be.
The Smiling Crue : Thumb Drive Found
Fulton : The other one… he used a bone saw. I don’t think L’Ively was kidding about the punishing experiments. What a thing to go through.
– “Feeling sorry for him?”
– “I can’t imagine.” Neutral
– “He deserved it.”
